I’ve had some oil underneath the car now (leftside looking from front) all over the the oil pan and such. I have replaced my valve cover gasket (again) I changed the oil cooler seals, I did notice oil on the small lip/ring around the center of the actuator so I changed both intake and exhaust seals (inside gaskets). I’m still seeing it in that spot and it’s leaving the car at a decent rate.. could the actuator itself be bad and oil leaking through? The only other two things I could think of on that side are the oil pan isn’t sealed well on that side or my front engine cover gasket which I damn sure hope it isn’t. Just wondering if these actuators can be no good and leak?

My oil pan gasket seal has gone bad and replaced twice by the dealer, and it is now leaking again. It’s the same spot where it starts though, the front left corner. Which is weird because it’s what seems to be the highest point of the pan
This is where I keep seeing the oil at.. as well as all over the left side of the motor down on the pan. I just don’t get it. Belts dry, pulleys are dry. I’ve replaced the inner seals on both of those but I’m wondering if the entire part has to be replaced. I’m going to do the oil pan gasket tomorrow but still wondering about these too.
